One of the best parts of celebrating your loved ones’ union (aside from attending the nuptials) is finally finding the perfect gift that not only represents the couple and your love for them but also one that they’ll keep and treasure for years to come.

If you’ve been wondering what to buy for a wedding or wedding shower gift, we’ve created the ultimate gift guide to help you in your quest. From bachelorette gift ideas to bridal shower presents and wedding gifts, we’ve curated a list of meaningful gifts to be cherished. 

The Bachelorette Party: Celebrating Friendship and Fun

Fun and Memorable Bachelorette Gift Ideas

Gifts don’t have to be expensive to be meaningful and memorable. When looking for a bachelorette gift for your sister or friend, take into account the things she likes and her personality.

If she’s the sentimental type, matching apparel like a personalized hoodie or a customized keepsake box will be much more meaningful than anything with a hefty price tag. You can also treat her to a day out for lunch and dinner or a spa weekend to relax and unwind before the big day.

If the bride is a big fan of astrology, why not celebrate her with a beautiful piece of jewelry that embraces her connection to the stars? 

Our zodiac jewelry collection features gorgeous pieces that can be customized and personalized to fit her unique personality. It's a stylish, personal nod to who she is, perfect for the bride to wear during her bachelorette weekend and beyond.

The Bridal Shower: Gifting for a Future Together

What to Buy for a Wedding Shower Gift: Top Ideas

Bridal or wedding shower gifts are generally given to help the couple build their home together. Ideas include high-quality home essentials, such as tableware, cookware, kitchen equipment, home decor, or items from their registry. 

As these are gifts they’ll likely keep in their home for a long time, we recommend making sure they’re unforgettable.

The Night Sky Spotlight: A Sentimental Star Map

For a truly unforgettable wedding shower gift, give them the constellations in the sky during the moment their love story began. Create a custom star map of the night they got engaged or had their first date. It’s a breathtakingly romantic piece of art for their new home that no one else will think of.

Wedding Gift Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I spend on a wedding gift?

Guests generally choose to spend between $50 and $100 for a wedding gift, sometimes even more if they’re close to the couple. While we understand wanting to celebrate your loved ones, we recommend not spending outside your means. A sentimental gift can mean much more than an expensive one. 

Is it okay to give a gift that's not on the registry?

A good rule of thumb is to stick to what’s on the registry if you can, as the couple will have put whatever they truly want and need on it. However, if you’re close enough to them and want to offer them your own heartfelt gift, go for it!

What is a good sentimental wedding gift?

A good sentimental wedding gift will be one that sparks an emotion or memory, whether between the couple themselves or with you and them. Take a trip down memory lane and give them a star map print of the day they met or star map jewelry to be passed down in their family as an heirloom. 

Can I give one gift for the shower and wedding combined?

Depending on your budget, you can gift one or two presents for the bridal shower and wedding party. Look for items on the registry that fit within your budget, and remember that if you choose to give two presents, they don’t have to be equal in value.
